Please make sure the letter from your supervisor doesNOT contradict with anything else that you submit with your application (like a letter from HR)

He hasn't applied yet. So I told him to just go with his supervisor's letter. No need to produce HR letter along with it.

Congratulations! How was it? Did they ask you anything?

BTW, when did you receive your passport/visa from Ottawa?

Hi Sia, I also changed my passport recently. May I know how we should inform them of this change and give them the new passport's information?

thanks

Well my passport was due to expire in Oct. They simply asked for one with a validity that exceeds 6 months in the "doc request" email.

I actually got my new passport today. Will pay the RPRF and email them the docs tonight.

hey guys,

I am eligible to apply under both categories of family physician (1000 cap- no application yet) and PhD Stream. Which category do you think is faster or I ll have a better chance?

I can get a letter from my supervisor saying the hours of RA (33 hrs/week in the summer and 20 hours in the fall and winter) + a letter from the prof I was doing TA with (12 hrs/week in the fall and winter).

Do you think that will be enough WITHOUT HR letter????

That should work. The HR letter was nowhere in my application and I am a PR now.

Hello Chakri,
Did they cross your study permit and previous visa from passport when you get new PR VISA?
Is it possible to travel outside Canada without the PR Card (as it take 7/8 weeks to come)?

Thanks.

That should work. The HR letter was nowhere in my application and I am a PR now.

Thanks Sia for your reply,

Which email address should we use? Is that enough to just send a scanned copy of the new passport to them?

guys I am about to prepare my documents for appliction in this category. In addition to this Phd RA experience that I have, I also have worked for 1 year part time and also a few months full time during and after I got my masters. But it will be hassle for me tofind my supervisor at the time and aske them to write a letter to claim those expereinces. Apart from the part that it might help my case if I did this do you see any harm in NOT REPORTING this? I mean I am sure most people here dont have prior to Phd work expereince and for that I think I would be fine with only my RA. but is it bad if i dont even say that I have worked?

I think a short email saying how your passport is expiring and the scanned copy should do.

All e-mail enquiries should be sent to the following address only:

CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca

In my understanding (and don't take my word for it), you MUST report all work experience. So, the answer is YES, you may be accused of misrepresentation because of not reporting it (if they find out). Providing a letter is a different thing, though, and you don't have to provide a letter for it. To sum it all up, you MUST report it in the form, but you are not required to provide a documentation for your job if you are not going to claim it.
